How many copies is the Labor Contract made in?

View Post in Vietnamese: >> Hợp đồng lao động được làm thành mấy bản?

Dear Sir/Madam,Could you please advise if current legislation stipulates how many copies of the labor contract must be made? If my company specifies in the labor contract that it is to be made in 4 copies, with the employee keeping 1 copy and the employer keeping 3 copies, does this contravene the law in any way?Thank you!

Form of Employment Contract as stipulated in Article 16 of the 2012 Labor Code is as follows:

The employment contract must be concluded in writing and made in 02 copies, the employee retains 01 copy, and the employer retains 01 copy, except for the case stipulated in clause 2 of this Article.
For temporary jobs with a term of less than 03 months, the parties may conclude an oral employment contract.

Thus, the law does not stipulate that the contract cannot be made in more than 2 copies, so if there is a need, you can make more than 2 copies of the contract.

Respectfully!
